I keep telling you Kenneth … Mass Democracy is not only the most stupid form of government ever conceived of by man, but as you've clearly demonstrated above, is nothing more than an illusion which placates the collective ego of the gullible masses, making them think that they actually have a say in matters of state. As Napoleon Bonaparte observed, “religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich”. Likewise, the media-perpetuated quasi-religious sanctity of mass “democracy”, is what keeps middle class fools obedient servants of the state, sheepishly contributing to a system that actively works against their interests.

The frauds manifest in the recent Mexican ballot are perhaps a bit more transparent than the those which determine the outcome of sham elections in the U.S. and other first world nations. However, the are by no means more excessive. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking that Obrador is some kind of Mexican Eliot Ness … all system politicians are bought from the moment they throw their hat into the ring. Elections are not a contest between the popular will and the interests of moneyed powers. Rather, they are simply a contest between the interests of two (or more) competing sets of moneyed powers. Mass Democracy is basically just the Golden Rule - as defined by Nathan Meyer Rothschild - put into practice: that is, “he who has the gold, makes the rules”.
